This webtrees module creates an additional tab in the Individual view which lists the members of the core and the extended family of that person: great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, parents-in-law, co-parents-in-law, uncles, aunts, partners, siblings, siblings-in-law, co-siblings-in-law, cousins, nephews, nieces, children, children-in-law, grandchildren, and grandchildren-in-law.
This Readme contains the following main sections
There is a module description in German language available.
This module presents the core and the extended family of a proband. It is based on the Eskimo kinship system.
The user can filter the shown results by
- gender and
- dead/alive persons.
The admin can decide in the control panel
- which extended family parts should be shown and in which sequence they should be presented
- if filter options should be presented for users
- if a button "copy to clippings cart" should be shown
- how empty parts of extended family should be presented
- whether the name of proband is a full name or a short version
- whether a compact design should be used or an enriched version, showing a photo as well as complete birth and death information
- whether labels should be shown for each part of the extended family showing the generation shift and information about the related coefficient of relationship
- whether labels like "adopted child", "foster child", "triplet", "stillborn", or "linkage challenged" should be used to indicate special situations
- GEDCOM records to indicate that a person
- is e.g. a triplet, should look like "1 BIRT\n2 _ASSO @I123@\n3 RELA triplet" or "1 ASSO @I123@\n2 RELA triplet")
- is stillborn or died as an infant, should look like "1 BIRT\n2 AGE STILLBORN" or "1 DEAT\n2 AGE INFANT"
- has a special linkage status to the parent family (challenged, disproven, proven), should look like "1 FAMC @F123@\n2 STAT CHALLENGED"
- GEDCOM records to indicate that a person
